Got my new speakers cranked all the way up!

Fri. 11/18/11 9:22pm
Ike:
Hey Billy Jam! Great to hear you! @spidermanc, we don't really have a "watershed" here. I forget if it's 10 p.m. or 11 p.m., but after a certain point you can play things that are "indecent" but not things that are "obscene" -- but what the fuck does that mean? The FCC refuses to define these terms, so who the fuck knows? Nobody, that's who.

Fri. 11/18/11 9:24pm
JB:
Killin it dawg !! Azeem !! yeeeuuhhh ! Whats up with some Celsius 7 tonight? ( I know, no requests ; ) Do i need to send you some radio edits?

ledzeppelinsucks:
I am reading about these privately run prisons. It saves the state money on budget spread sheets and makes politicians, judges and others money by bribes. Kids caught out late at night are being sent to these shit holes for 6 months by judges that benefit by corruption.

ledzeppelinsucks:
They should make a song asking why MUNI drivers put the heat on broil during rain. Or why people in SF wear layers of cotton, wool and other absorbent clothing in rain and think rain and 60 degrees is 'COLD'

olde gold digger codger:
when I was there it wasn't called fiinio risco yo city. it was simply called the place we brought our gold we found to be turned into money so we could buy whisky and bang the babes!!

Fri. 11/18/11 11:23pm
ledzeppelinsucks:
no one I know in San Francisco calls it 'Frisco' or 'San Fran' I call bullshit on their claim.

Fri. 11/18/11 11:34pm
olde gold digger codger:
when I was there we had to bring our gold to the "city" to get paid the most. this was back in the 80's...1880's...once we tried to sneak out a huge bag of weed we traded from some mexicans. the government was there and one of the mexicans warned us and whispered "you are going to get frisked, yo!" and then that is when I think the Frsco thing began. because of the "frisk, Yo!"

Fri. 11/18/11 11:39pm

Mr. Billy(Ham) Jam, I have to say I have enjoyed myself tonight. Nice ,easy night with great tunes . I hope this becomes a semi reg thing.
